we spent a grand total of £29 and got this lot...
« on: June 29, 2013, 06:24:25 pm »
Avril and i were ar our monthly auction....we got there late,...so we did,nt get much,...but what little we did get,was ..not bad for the money....first up was this little perfume holder,it measures 1.1/2in x 1.1/12in x 1in it is porcelain,and has 2 x small bottles inside,0n the underside the mark is crossed swords with a crown...the stone beer bottle is from J.Hitchon..in ....Kidderminster,..the light fitting is modern but of good quality,the brass companion set is solid brass,...the 2 x Nikon SLR Camera,s are in full working order...not antique, but at £9 for both of them....i thought i,d take a chance...the cast iron doorstop,again not too old, but at £2...it,ll serve a purpose,

I have found many boxes. Just can't find any with the little perfume bottles. The mark seems right.

Look down here for more of the perfume boxes !!  Estimated $25. to $40. I think it said !!  Limoges style !!  Swords are upside down for Meissen I think !!

I can certainly see why Avril loves this!  It's a perfect match!

And I'm sure on those cold, dark nights it'll cast a perfect halo........not that any of us here would be fooled.  ;)

Wow...my better half is SOOOOO glad we don't live near you.  I would be going to those auctions in a heartbeat!

The place is looking good!!!

As for the travel perfumes in the porcelain box (known as a casket in the older days and current can be called a chest).  Have seen them over the years.  COLLECTIBLE!!!

Here's a few examples:
